"Yes."

The corners of Xu Fenglei's mouth rose slightly.

With the emperor's authorization, he can also take the opportunity to arrange some private work for Xuanzang.

The treasure of the Western Regions can be summed up by more than just a "map of the Western Regions"!

"Listen, when it comes to expansion, I have ambitions, and I don't want Datang's territory to be limited to this......"

Li Shimin sighed,

"The Western Regions, in the end, is still a relatively distant matter."

"Right now, the Turks are our henchmen, and I'm also wondering in my heart, should we raise a big army? Can Datang withstand this big war? ”

"Tangled...... Let's do this privately, and you will give me a good analysis and analysis? ”

The decisive clap at the meeting, that was also a wave of blood came up, hit the fuck!

But you can calm down and think about it......

Xiao Yu and Wei Zheng's statement is not unreasonable.

War is such a thing, it affects the whole body, and no famous general dares to say that he can completely control the situation of the war! The situation is good or bad, all in an instant!

Therefore, at this moment, he urgently needs Xu Fenglei's comprehensive analysis.

Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, should not be taken lightly......

"Your Majesty is a military expert, so naturally he also knows the art of war."

Xu Fenglei said with a smile,

"Do you still remember when we repelled the Turks in Fenzhou, the words of the "Art of War" quoted by the minister?"

"Go to war, then fight and fight, then attack the army, and attack the city."

"Sun Wu is really a saint of soldiers, these sixteen words can be applied no matter what the situation! It's the same now. ”

"Just like the current state environment, there is a lot of room for diplomatic maneuver!"

Li Shimin touched his chin.

"What do you mean...... Exchanges with Khitan, Xue Yantuo, Hui and other countries? ”

He whispered,

"Is that what you mean?"

Xu Feng thundered his head.

"Yes."

He analyzed,

"The Turkic territory is vast, but within its country, there are also many tribes, and they frequently fight each other."

"For example, there are more than forty tribes with the surname Tiele, and the more powerful ones are Xue Yantuo, Hui and other tribes."

"When the steppe resources were abundant and the Turks were strong, they were naturally obedient as sheep, obediently bowing their heads and being dogs to Jieli Khan, but now?"

Xu Fenglei paused slightly, threw a piece of tender bamboo shoots into his mouth, and said while chewing:

"Since the first year of Zhenguan, the Turkic extreme climate has been continuous, and the resources on the steppe have been sharply reduced! Hello, hello, everyone, the balance is broken, everyone has to tighten their belts to live, friction is inevitable. ”

"Jieli Khan's conquest of Xue Yantuo, Hui, Khitan and other departments is essentially caused by the uneven distribution of resources.

Li Shimin listened energetically, and before he knew it, he had already stuffed a few pieces of fat mutton into his mouth.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

The eldest grandson glared and said,

"It's almost over, I'll take the plate away after eating!"

Li Shimin came back to his senses, felt the greasy lubrication in his mouth, and couldn't help laughing:

"Don't blame it, don't blame it, I'm distracted, I'm distracted......"

As he spoke, he hurriedly stuffed a few mouthfuls of food into his mouth to show the queen.

"Hmph."

The eldest grandson gave him a blank look, and then said,

"I heard you continue to say that I'm not interested in fighting a war or anything, but I also like to listen to these war situation analyses, diplomacy or something."

Now it's Li Shimin's turn to hum.

"Humph! You understand, you understand! He pouted and said, "State diplomacy, even I don't know much about it!" You should eat two more bites of meat and take care of the baby in your belly! ”

When Xu Fenglei heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong, and in my eyes, Niangniang is also an outstanding politician. How could it be incomprehensible? ”

He answered,

"In fact, if you want to say that the most powerful diplomat in the Tang Dynasty at present, the minister is the first to recommend the queen!"

The eldest grandson's expression moved, and he was a little surprised.

"Uh......"

was praised by Xu Fenglei like this, and she was a little at a loss.

"Huh? The most powerful diplomat in the Tang Dynasty is the queen? ”

Li Shimin frowned and said,

"Listen to Ming, you don't have to do this when you shoot Guanyin's fart, right? I'm almost embarrassed to hear it......"

What a joke!

However, Xu Fenglei shook his head.

"This is by no means a boast, Your Majesty, you can think about it, when you were fighting outside, Prince Yin and King Ra maliciously slandered you in front of the Emperor, who was circling in the harem?"

Xu Fenglei Zhengsedao,

"And who will come forward for you to do diplomacy, clarify rumors, and save your image?"

"If it weren't for the empress's outstanding diplomacy, I'm afraid you would have been disgusted by the emperor a long time ago, and you would have taken back your military power, how could you have a chance later?"

Li Shimin was stunned.

"Oh, yes...... I've forgotten about it! ”

He replied,

"Guanyin doesn't talk much about it, now that I think about it, at that time, Guanyin and I went to hold the stinky feet of Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei for me, and repeatedly clarified for me in front of my father, it's really hard for you......"

"If it's me, I don't want to!"

"Uh-huh...... I can get this honor, the queen's diplomacy is a great contribution! ”

The eldest grandson rolled his eyes.

"What a stinky foot, what is said so ugly."

She pouted,

"Serving my father and the concubines is my princess's job."

"No matter how bad Zhang Jieyu and Concubine Yin De are, their reputations are always over there, and their father's favor is also there. They have always been at odds with you, if I don't say some soft and nice words, they won't blow the pillow wind in front of my father and blow you to death? ”

"You, you also know a little bit about fighting, in terms of dealing with interpersonal relationships, I see that you don't understand at all!"

Li Shimin nodded again and again and laughed.

"Yes, yes, I don't understand, doesn't this show that you are a good helper?"

He quipped,

"Isn't it, Great Diplomat?"

"Then you come and follow the words of Tingming and continue to say, what should we do?"

The eldest grandson raised his eyebrows.

"What's so hard about that?"

She answered,

"The Khitan, Hui, Xue Yantuo and the Turks broke out in war due to the uneven distribution of profits, originally this was a great opportunity for the Jieli Khan to suppress the tribes, as long as he can win, with the temperament of the steppe barbarians, he will inevitably crawl at his feet."

"It's a pity that he lost."

"This brought the steppe tribes back to their senses...... You're just like that! You're a sick tiger, there's nothing to be afraid of! ”

"Therefore, after these defeats, the grasslands will enter a greater degree and more serious division and struggle."

"The time when the Turkic khans spoke with great words has passed! Just like in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Han Xian spoke, which was no longer good in the eyes of all princes! ”

The eldest grandson's words were a little playful.

But this analysis surprised Li Shimin.

"Guanyin, where did you learn this?"

He couldn't help but say,

"You...... The analysis is very good! Clearer than I am! ”

"To tell you the truth, are you secretly reading a military book?"

The eldest grandson smiled disdainfully.

"It's very simple, I don't have to read the military book and I will too. As for you, you won't......"

She shrugged her shoulders and said,

"That's your stupidity!"

Li Shimin: "#¥%......&@!! ”

It's okay now, I was completely ridiculed by my wife!

"The queen mother is not reading military books, but has a keen international vision."

Xu Fenglei gave a thumbs up and said,

"As the mother said, Khan, times have changed!"

"Now is not the time when Jieli's words can make the grassland tribes pinch their noses and be wronged."

"Whether it's the Khitan, or Xue Yantuo, or the Hui, they all have to rebel! Take more resources and tear more meat from the Turks' mouths! ”

"And that's our chance."

Li Shimin's heart was shocked.

He knows, to the point!

"Master Meng has clouds, those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help."

Xu Fenglei said in a deep voice,

"To put it bluntly, at this stage, we want to make more friends and fewer enemies, and concentrate our forces on targeting the Turks!"

"In other words, the Khitan, Hui, Xue Yantuo and other departments can be the objects of our wooing, we can establish diplomatic relations with them, establish friendly relations with them, and accept them all as junior brothers!"

"Your Majesty, can you imagine what will happen to the Turks once we start a war after establishing this diplomatic circle?"

Li Shimin closed his eyes slightly, and then quickly opened his eyes again.

"Everywhere, there are enemies!"

He said with some excitement,

"The subordinates of the past are all turned against each other! Open the way for the Tang Army, shout and cheer! ”

"All the former allies have turned against each other! Let the Turks be attacked on all sides and isolated! ”

"Okay, what a fight!"

"What you said is very right, we must make more friends and fewer enemies, and concentrate on doing great things! Although these words are simple and straightforward, they contain the truth! ”

The corners of Xu Fenglei's mouth rose slightly.

That's nature.

Don't look at whose quotes it is.

During this conversation, a eunuch held an envelope in his hand and walked quickly in front of Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, this is news from the Northern Horse Scout, Jieli Khan has made a big move."

The eunuch whispered as he delivered the envelope to Li Shimin.

"Oh?"

Li Shimin's heart moved, and he quickly opened the envelope, took out the letter paper in it, and read it.

"This cumin lamb is well done."

Xu Fenglei naturally didn't say more, took a piece of lamb leg meat and put it in his mouth, and recommended to the eldest grandson, Wujian,

"Niangniang, you should also try this more to make up for your body!"

"Nope." The eldest grandson shook his head and said, "Last time, Sun Zhenren showed it, saying that I have a hot stomach and a weak temper recently, and this fat and sweet taste cannot be digested, so it is better to eat less." ”

Xu Fenglei slapped his mouth twice, and said that it was a pity, and he was even happy to eat.

"This Jieli Khan was kicked in the head by a donkey?"

At that end, Li Er suddenly smiled dumbly, holding the letter paper and said,

"Ha, hahaha......"

"Listen to it, look at it, I really can't understand what he does!"

Xu Fenglei didn't take the letter, but tilted his head and said:

"Can your majesty say so...... Let me guess what kind of pig nose operation this Jieli did. ”

"Hmm......"

"Could it be that he moved his own tent to our border?"

Bang!

Li Shimin slammed the table.

"That's right! Hahaha......"

He rejoiced, and said,

"You're a god too, you can guess that."

"Isn't this Jieli tired and crooked? Does he think I dare not poke him in the eye? ”

"Hahaha......"

The word "eye", he didn't know before, he completely learned it from Xu Fenglei.

However, at this moment, the posture of the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, to describe it in this word, is really too appropriate!

"I'll see."

Xu Fenglei chewed the leg of mutton, took the military newspaper and read it,

"Jieli Khan moved the tooth tent and stood in the south of Yin Mountain, the place of Dingxiang."

"Hah...... If my Datang mobilizes two armies and sends troops from Shengzhou and Shuofang to attack, it will really stab his old boy in the eye, Your Majesty uses this word wonderfully! ”

"Hahaha......"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"The minister is sure that Jieli should be afraid because of continuous foreign defeats!"

Xu Fenglei said again,

"He is afraid of a fierce battle with Xue Yantuo and Khitan, and he is also afraid of being attacked by the enemy on his back, and our Datang suddenly has a partial division and smashes Huanglong!"

"Therefore, sitting in Dingxiang can be regarded as maintaining a buffer zone with the anti-forces, and at the same time, it can also prevent my Datang sneak attack."

"It's just that he didn't know that this decision would be the stupidest decision of his life, not one of them!"

In case of a sneak attack, I decided to sleep next to you.

You can just stab me with a knife, and you don't have to be so troublesome as a sneak attack.

That's a ...... Heartwarming.

"yes......"

Li Shimin rubbed his hands and said,

"When he does this, I can't help but want to stab it......"

"Ahem...... Restraint, restraint. ”

"Diplomacy should be put on the agenda in advance, and the counter-ministries should be contacted."

Even though he is itchy in his heart, Li Er's basic military literacy is still there.

Don't fight unprepared, unsure battles.

"I heard that the Khitan leader has a good personal relationship with the Tuli Khan."

Xu Fenglei offered advice,

"You can let the Turki Khan liaise in the center, so that we can not only maintain the posture of our Tang Dynasty, but also have a bridge of communication between the two sides."

Li Shimin stroked his chin.

"However, this matter will be left to Tang Jian, and I can rest assured that he will come forward to negotiate."

He answered,

"After diplomacy, it's time for military deployment."

Li Shimin's eyes were shining, and he muttered:

"I am willing to attack it with the strength of the whole country, and go down with one drum! Listen, who do you think is the commander and the commander of the hosts? ”

Xu Fenglei was silent.

"How?"

Li Er wondered,

"You haven't thought about it?"

Xu Fenglei shook his head.

"It's not that I haven't thought about it, but I don't need to think about it."

He said,

"There are only two and a half people in Datang who can dominate the overall situation and fight this battle."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.

"Really? Let's talk about it. ”

He smiled and groaned,

"Which two and a half people?"

"Li Jing counts one, and Li Ji counts half." Xu Fenglei said casually, "The other one is Your Majesty, but Your Majesty, it is impossible for you to drive the expedition in person, so Li Jing and Li Ji choose one person to be the commander." ”

Li Shimin smiled.

He was very satisfied with this wave.

This kid hasn't forgotten his awesomeness as a Tiance general.

"If this war is not launched, once it is launched, it will be a war of annihilation!"

Xu Fenglei Zhengsedao,

"The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, let alone destroy the country?"

"Therefore, even if Your Majesty has some concerns, using Li Jing is also the best choice! Li Jike is the deputy marshal to lead the division to block the attack! ”

"I don't know if the choice in Your Majesty's heart is the same as that of the minister?"
